By Royal Appointment

Last week we were honoured to be invited to The Prince of Wales
Hospice for a Royal visit. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales
has had a 30 year relationship with the Pontefract hospice and was
returning to see the progress the hospice has made in recent
years.

The Prince of Wales Hospice has been an integral part of the
Eastern Wakefield community in West Yorkshire for many years. It
serves over 170,000 people offering round the clock care365 days a
year. The Appeal was delighted to award the hospice £10,000 last
year to support their Lymphoedema team. Whilst there is no cure for
Lymphoedema, it is possible to control the main symptoms and we
were proud to be able to offer financial support to develop this
vital work.

Appeal Manager Kate Goldring represented the Appeal during the
royal visit and was able to see the hospice first hand as well as
meet the Lymphoedema Team. "You can see this is a first class
hospice from the moment you arrive. Meeting the team and discussing
research and symptom management was fantastic and I know we will
work with them more broadly in other areas of our work."

"Meeting the Prince of Wales was a real experience and it was an
honour to be able to tell him more about the work of the Appeal and
delivering Jane's legacy."

Here at the Appeal we are so proud to be able to support many
good causes like this, look out for news of our April grant round
coming soon.
